Light The Way: Shine a teal light on food allergy this Halloween

October 2, 2019

Help us take the fright out of food allergy this Halloween! Make it a safer, more inclusive holiday for everyone, while also increasing food allergy awareness with the general public. All you need to do is #ShineATealLight on food allergy.

#ShineATealLight is our Canadian Halloween campaign focused on driving food allergy awareness and support for the almost 500,000 kids who have them.

The concept is simple – on Halloween, put a teal light on your front porch to let kids know you have allergy-friendly treats/non-food treats for them. To make it even easier, you can now purchase LED smart bulbs from Canadian manufacturer Globe Electric that includes our teal colour!

Don’t be in the dark this Halloween. Check out our tips, tools, and other resources, so you can navigate and this holiday with confidence. Visit foodallergycanada.ca/ShineATealLight.
